Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to explore the strategies and challenges faced by Muslim families in Sidomulyo, Kartasura, especially parents, in raising Generation Z with a new mindset. This qualitative study adopts a phenomenological approach to gain a deeper understanding of the lived experiences of parents as mentors for Generation Z. Data were collected from 3 families. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and direct observation, then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Muslim families use active supervision, open and reciprocal communication, family time, and religious education to foster emotional resilience and positive character traits in their children. These findings highlight Muslim families' vital role in shaping Generation Z's mindset and fill a gap in previous research where the direct involvement of families in the digital era is often overlooked. Future family-based mental health interventions in Muslim communities point to the need to integrate religious values with digital literacy and emotional support strategies. Provides practical insights for developing family-centered programs to improve intergenerational mental health.
